What's up with this new fad that's hit the scene? I think these things are a joke (no offense if anyone here likes them) A non functional hood scoop is one thing, at least they LOOK mean. I think these vents are stock on some Buicks, but they're showing up everywhere down here in Georgia, on Chevy trucks, Crown Vic's, even saw a set on a Pinto! I just don't understand the fad.

 

there are some out there that look real for the most part, one piece sets modeled after the escalade, but i just hate it when they make their own design and stretch them the whole fender!! EWWW

 

I don't like them. If they are not functional, then they are a waste! True fender vents look good. These stick on ones?

 

I see a minimum of 20 cars a day with the stick-on vents. Most of them are so crooked that it's hilarious.

 

It's the getto look just like spinners.

 

At least mine are functional and belong on a Buick.

 

Lookin good....... what number? out of 546

Now thats the only fender vents that look good and are functional too

 

i tell my buddy everyday how much these things **** me off. One car had three on each front quarter panel and THREE ON THE HOOD!!! What the hell is the point of that?!?!?!

 

Ive got vents but they are real. I cut and installed them myself. Not stick ons.

 

Those look sweet as hell Thumper2001, now I don't have a problem with functional! It's the 3 or 4 stick on's in a row that are ridiculous. On my way home today (after posting originally) when I was walking out to my truck, I saw a customer in the parking lot that had put them on the top of his S10 like clearance lights! Where's a camera when you need it!!!!

 

Actually they made 547 GNXs.But mine is only a clone, it's just a Grand National.

 

I as well hate the pep boy versions, But im diggin these on the new sport trac.

 

Ya man I know what your talkin about, I think those look stupid too, I just wanted to show mine off hehehe. Oh and thanks for the compliment.

 

Nassty...that car and your name are totally fitting of each other, lol.

I'm still considering adding functional vents on mine, like the Sport Trac Adrenaline has above (I've seen two of them in person now, they've finally started producing them woohoo!!!). A lot of people have the fake stick-on kind down here too, but that's just another way of identifying the ricers/posers.

A few guys with their own shops are doing their own mods with the functional vents though, and look really good. They even claim better performance...my guess being that airflow is better through the engine bay and the intake is drawing cooler air and not the ambient air heated by the engine.

 

Functional vents are cool. (wish the scoop was too!!)
